Type of Services

Chinese Medicine (CM) provides syndrome differentiation and treatment for cancer patients at different stages, including adjuvant therapy, pre- and post-surgical CM treatment, symptom management, and rehabilitation support.

  1. Pre- and Post-Surgical CM Treatment
    For pre-surgery, CM is used to enhance physical condition and improve surgical tolerance. After surgery, CM promotes wound healing, speeds up recovery, and reduces the risk of recurrence or metastasis.

  2. Adjuvant Therapy for Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, and Targeted Therapy
    CM may serve as an adjunct to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy to relieve side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, while enhancing treatment efficacy

  3. Symptom Management
    CM is used to alleviate cancer-related symptoms such as pain, loss of appetite, and insomnia, and to improve patients’ quality of life

  4. Rehabilitation Support and Long-Term Care
    CM rehabilitation services are provided, including dietary adjustments, exercise recommendations, and herbal treatment, to strengthen patients’ health, enhance immunity, and maintain physical and mental well-being

  5. Advanced Cancer Treatment
    CM is used to improve cancer symptoms, relieve pain, enhance quality of life, and prolong survival
